The Simpsons Ride is an indoor simulated rollercoaster ride located in the Springfield areas of Universal Studios Hollywood. This motion simulator ride combines physical movement with on-screen action, giving riders the feeling of being on a wild, over-the-top adventure through Krustyland with the Simpsons family. An all-new Simpsons animation has been created specifically for the ride, including the pre-show and queue areas. The ride utilizes 85-foot IMAX Dome screens, Sony Projectors, and motion platforms that lift vehicles 9 feet into the dome. Riders experience water effects, smoke, mist, lighting effects, and scents. The ride is very well received by fans, praised for its humor and visuals. The ride was named the best new attraction of 2008 by the website Themeparkinsider.com. However, it can cause motion sickness for some riders.
The Simpsons Ride always has a long queue, and honestly, I'm not sure it's worth the wait. The humor is classic Simpsons, which I enjoy, but the ride itself feels a bit dated. The projections are grainy, the movement is jerky, and I usually walk out feeling more dizzy than delighted. It's a fun concept, but the execution hasn't aged well compared to other attractions in the park. If there's no line, it can be a decent break indoors, but if the wait is stretching past 30 minutes, I'd recommend heading somewhere else. Your head and stomach will thank you.
It's alright. I like Springfield as a whole. The world is great! Makes you feel like you are in the cartoon. The Simpson's Ride is just not it. The Simpson's Ride is outdated. It needs to be changed and made more exciting. It's pretty lackluster. You sit on the car, and it rumbles a bit or moves, while you watch a screen with some goggles. It just sucks. I really hope they re-mark this to be better. Such a disappointing ride. The plus side is I guess it is good for small children. The Transformers ride is very similar to this one. Expect that one is amazing. Maybe they need to add more special effects or something to take this one up a notch? It just seems like there is more they could do to make this one more enjoyable. I don't mind the 3D motion simulator rides.
A ride for the whole family. A simulated journey through Springfield with several bumps, swerves and curves along the way. Based on the show, all the characters we know and love are included in the fun. Each cart has 2 rows of up to 4 people for a total of 8 in a pod room which gives it a personable vibe while also enjoying the ride with others.
The Simpsons ride is a fan favorite, and it often has extremely long wait times. However, during our last couple of park visits, we've rushed over to this ride and found that the wait times have been surprisingly short. It's a simulated ride, so if you don't get a seat in the first row, you might experience some motion sickness. Despite this, I still like it, but I wouldn't recommend waiting in line for more than 25 minutes. Inside the ride, you seat inside a small car that fits four people in the front and four people in the back. The ride takes you as the "tourist" through a theme park with The Simpsons. That whole area where the ride is located has a lot of photo ops and a lot of characters, restaurants, and breweries based on the series.
Probably my favorite ride of them all. Would recommend it. Love the colors and the familiarity with the character.
Even if you don't love the Simpsons or grew up with it on the air, this is still a must try attraction. It immerses you into the realm of Springfield with elements that make it feel very real. Watch out for Sideshow and enjoy the ride on a coaster that's sure to thrill! D'oh! Don't forget this attraction is available once a day for the Express Pass if you purchased.
I love this ride. I do miss the Back to Future Ride but only this one could fill its shoes. Funny and entertaining throughout! This was my favorite ride for years. It might actually still be. I'm not sure but I will let you know in a but! I won a prize outside. Trust me. Here's a tip - keep your shirt on. Thank you
As someone who went to Universal Studios as a child, I miss the Back to the Future ride. I get it. I'm sure the kiddos don't know Back to the Future so things have to change. I'm realizing as I grow older and if I don't get enough rest, I get motion sickness. So considering I hadn't slept well for two nights, this was our last ride of the second day at Universal and I knew exactly what I was going to get into. L O C A T I O N The Simpsons Ride is in the faaaar back near the escalators to go to the lower lot. W A I T The time outside said 40 minutes and we had nothing else left, so we said, fine. It actually didn't take that long to be honest. It's a high loader ride since there's 3 floors where they have several cars that seat 8 people. If they do use all the cars, it's a lot of people in one round. T H E R I D E The ride is roughly 6 minutes long. It's supposed to be a rollercoaster simulation. You're basically staring at a very large screen in front of you which is the same screen all the other cars see. If you're sitting in the front, you can see the other folks in their cars. The car doesn't get flipped around or over, just a lot of jostling and tipping. Still got to me and my stomach. I felt every dip, turn, and movement. O V E R A L L As everyone said it's an old ride. The animation is a bit dated and the cars are definitely a little worn down. But if you're a fan of the Simpsons and know of Sideshow Bob, Krusty, and Simpsons, it's fun. Though I wonder how long this ride will be here considering Disney now owns The Simpsons. Who knows, this ride might be the next one to be replaced. I think if they kind of revamped it a bit, it would be better. It's exactly how I remember it and it was just okay. Something to try if the lines are short and you're needing a place to take shelter from the heat and if you don't have issues with motion sickness.
I was super excited to ride The Simsons Ride, as I'm a huge Simpsons fan, and the rest of the Simpsons Land had been amazing. Unfortunately, The Simpsons Ride was a different story for me. It's a 3D motion simulator, and I found out for the first time on this ride that those make me queasy, so be careful about that. The theming is definitely on point, as is the rest of Simpsons Land. The experience you go through is riding a roller coaster through Krusty Land, so the cart is moving up and down like you're on a real roller coaster. More queasiness there, FYI. The screen you look at during the experience is a giant IMAX screen, and (at least the spots we were in) the screen is pretty close to you. Because of this, you have to crane your neck something awful to see everything going on in the experience. So I left with a queasy stomach, neck ache, and headache from craning my neck so much. The theming is amazing and the technology of the ride is super cool. I just wish it didn't bang me ip so bad in the actual execution. Maybe you will have a better ride than I did. Use my review and mistakes to try to make your experience a little better.
I have to give this ride a low rating. It made me unbelievably nauseous. I had never struggled with motion sickness previously, so this was a new experience. I went on a Monday, and the line took around 30 minutes. You end up in separate "funhouse" rooms where you get in a rollercoaster car that holds 8 people. The car shakes and moves while you view 3-D animation on a large IMAX screen. The coaster intensely rolls through Springfield, and you get to see all your favorite Simpson characters. Unfortunately, I didn't get to enjoy the ride because I had to shut my eyes. The sounds, movements, and screen really got to me and messed me up for the rest of the day. It was a bummer because I love the Simpsons. I would recommend checking out the rest of Krustyland, but I would be very cautious with this ride.
I have been a Simpsons fan from the get go. I adore them and all the folks in Springfield. So I was excited to ride this. I did not read any reviews before so I went into this adventure very green. Anyways, this four minute ride is over 16 years old. Each ride vehicle has two rows of seats each row seating up to four people. It has built in speakers and has hydraulic movement in a stationary position. The vehicle shakes about simulating a roller coaster ride. So for folks easily susceptible to motion sickness, be aware. The ride uses 3D animation shown on an IMax screen placed right in front of the vehicle. A bit outdated technology compared to all the other current type rides at the park. I sat in the back row of the cabin and could not see the bottom half of the screen. That center of the screen is about at eye level. It would be more ideal if the screen was lifted higher above the riders eye level so the while screen can be seen regardless of seat placement. The express queue for the Simpsons Ride did end up with the non express folks. We were merged and directed into lines. We waited in an enclosed room with a low ceiling, the room was decorated as a carnival midway. If riders are claustrophobic, this ride may not be the ideal since the low ceiling seem to make the room more confined. Monitors with various Springfield characters appeared providing the s entertainment. Each line of folks were lead a small room also with a low ceiling. It seemed smaller than 10' x 10'. The staff closes the door and leaves us in there to watch the monitor for the pre-ride show. After the video, a staffer opens the adjoining door and ushers us into the room with the ride vehicle. It is a free for all at this point for seating. Crazy. So if you are adamant on sitting in the primo front row, stand closest to the adjoining door when viewing the pre-show. I wish the staff would number folks to keep the lineup from the larger queue so it does not end up in the inevitable shoving match at the end.
Cons: Long wait times. Needs remodeling. Old rails and scenery with chipped paint needs maintenance. Pros: For any Simpsons fan this really is a great ride. It strikes a balance between silly and fun. Hopping on this coaster and going through Springfield is a blast. You get a sense that you're really a part of this adventure. Walking through the lobby, you get to see scenes of the Simpsons from the good old days when it was actually a well written and awesome cartoon. This ride is a virtual roller coaster where you're watching a screen and not an actual roller-coaster. A well designed ride. I would love to see it updated though.
This is a 4D like ride very popular with the fans of the show. The regular line had about 20 minutes wait time, but we used the Express Lane passes to get to the boarding area within couple of minutes. The ride sits in front of a screen that plays an adventure video around Springfield. The car moves according to the scene in the video. Bunch of characters from the show appear in the adventure. Overall a good steady ride for both kids and adults. Since I didn't watch the show much, I wasn't able to relate what they were trying to do in the adventure video. read more
I loved this ride! We visited during Super Bowl Sunday, so the wait time was about 20-minutes, but from what I hear it's typically 45+ minutes. Before hopping on there were A LOT of warnings of the ride's movements, flashing lights, possible nausea, and inducting of vertigo. This made my son very nervous and to be honest, me too. All that went away once we got into the ride and sat down. You're in a room with a massive immersive screen; sitting in a stationary roller coaster car that moves, shakes, and even gives the feeling of a real roller coaster drop. I didn't know this roller coaster was also 4D, meaning you'll get hit with blasts of air when the roller coaster drops, splashed with water when a mutated massive Maggie picks you up and sucks on you like a pacifier, and even a few smells like citrus and donuts. The main premise of this ride is that Sideshow Bob has escaped from prison and takes over control of the Krustyland roller coaster with Simpsons and us riding it. I love the continuity of the show mixed with ride and the ride itself was actually long considering most roller coaster are 30-45 seconds. Definitely worth the wait and if you're a true lover of The Simpsons, you'll appreciate all the Easter eggs hidden with it! read more
Fun factor 4/5 Wait time 3/5 Idea 3/5 little outdated to me. Waiting area decor and props 5/5! I loved all the stuff while you wait in line, there's couple tvs broadcasting funny scenes and keeps you somewhat entertained! Ride itself is like a rocking shaky ride while you watch a screen "roller coaster" Still cool! I loved how Bart was outside the ride area you can do a photo moment! read more

This ride is in the upper lot and is usually busy. This is one of those simulation rides where you sit in a coaster type simulator two rows of seats and you watch the big screen as the ride goes through all kinds of stuff it does get rough too so if you like these types of rides you'll enjoy it. read more

The longest wait we had the entire day, despite going on this ride during the special event hours. It totaled an almost 40 minute wait and many people dipped out before we got to go on. There's a queue outside with various fun things to look at like a detailed map of Krustyland, some attraction signs, and clips from episodes of the Simpsons. While you're inside the main waiting area, there are carnival booths where characters like Groundskeeper Willie, Moleman, Apu, and Patty & Selma keep you entertained with puns and jokes. While this is going on there's also some small TV's at the front with some ride advertisements for Krustyland. It's another motion simulator roller coaster where you and the Simpsons have to survive a day at Krustyland with Sideshow Bob trying to murder all of you. Very fun and thrilling. In terms of excitement, it's below the Transformers but higher than the Minions for sure. There's water, smells, and much more. A fun ride for sure, just be wary of the wait times! read more

Always a long line here but this time we got lucky cause the wait was under 20 minutes. It's a motion stimulator roller coaster. It's fun since it moves and shakes and makes sounds. It really feels like you are on a roller coaster. It's a fun ride. So if the wait is not to long go ahead and try it out. It's entertaining. read more

Last time during spring break, my brother, my sister, and my cousin went to The Simpsons Ride called "KrustyLand." This place at Universal Studios just like the television show that I watched on TV. This ride has a screen in front like a movie theater. It just opened in 2013 based on the fictional town of Springfield. This theme focuses on KrustyLand which is built named after Krusty the Clown. read more

As a child of the 80s, I grew up with the Simpsons... and for something like 3 decades, they've been cranking out episodes (Season 6, 7, and 8 remain my favorites, of course). Sometimes gritty, sometimes sweet, sometimes your eyes get sweaty-- the show has been a highly quotable part of my life for a long time. The avant-garde edge to Simpson's Land at Universal is well received, with plenty of show-references. This is not easy to pull off, but they've done it well. That ability to endearingly self-deprecate makes it all the more charming. The Simpsons ride does this too, with all tour favorite characters living right in the edge of stereotype and snark. The Sideshow Bob narrative of murderous hatred for the Simpson family, the nuclear power trope, the gaffs on how long you've been standing in line (which is somehow made more enjoyable by an endless stream of quotable Simpsons scenes shown on flatscreens over your head... I could stand here all day). The ride itself, like lots of other rides at Universal is that mess with your head combination of hydraulics, 4D effects like wind and water spray, and a wrap around projection screen. The sensory effect is good, although some suspense of disbelief is needed to make it really work. You're in a cartoon world, for goodness sakes... enjoy the moment! The car bucks and jerks like an old Ford Festiva with bad shocks on an LA freeway, so watch that spinal fusion, Mildred. But for the rest of us, it's worth giving this one a go.... then head outside and see which one of the Seven Duffs you most resemble. read more
The Simpsons Ride is awesome, but the wait times, heck no, especially, 50 mins or longer on the weekends. If you're here on a weekday, it might be shorter, or heck, if you're here as soon as the gates open, just beeline it down here while everyone else rushes to either The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Minions or the Lower Lot (to Jurassic or Mummy). The Simpsons Ride is located at Krustyland, right next to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. NO Single Riders Line, grrr!!! Express Pass and General Lines only. COVID-19 Safety Procedures: Face masks are required since the delta variant is rising. Previously, face masks were optional for vaccinated peeps. Now, everyone has to wear one. Hand sanitizers are available. The ride was crowded, but patrons kept a safe distance in between and it felt pretty safe. Before going on the ride, you're lead into a waiting room, continuing to watch Simpsons cartoon clips and are then assigned to your actual ride room. You'll then watch a safety clip before getting into the ride. Each room is pretty secured and you can leave your backpacks and additional souvenir bags to the sides. Each ride seats eight people (four in the front and four in the back). This is a motion simulator, roller coaster ride. There's a lot of jerking back and forth. If you're prone to motion sickness, have a bad back or neck sprain, avoid this ride. Before, it was a 3D ride, but motion sickness killed that fun. Overall, if you can handle it, you're in for a fun ride! Guaranteed, you will get squirted on with water through some parts of the scenes and you'll get your group picture taken towards the end. If you're a Simpsons fan, definitely worth checking out! Afterwards, grab yourself a Krusty Burger and a Lard Lad's Pink Sprinkles Donut...mimics Homer's drool *MmMmMmmm, (Pink Sprinkles) donuts,* hehehe!!! read more
This is such a fun ride and probably in the top of favorite ride at Universal Studios. I would suggest getting this ride out of the way first when you get into the theme park. The wait can be 60 minutes or 70 minutes if you wait and go later. We were able to use the express line so instead of waiting 75 minutes, we were in line for about 25 minutes. The ride itself is fun and entertaining. It's not too fast or too bumpy so kids that are at the appropriate height will like it. You can also leave your bags or backpack on the side while enjoying the ride and not worried about someone taking it since it's in a secured room. If you're a Simpsons fan then you'll enjoy the ride. read more
Fun virtual roller coaster ride \(**)/ Although I did feel a little dizzy in some parts... okay, in many parts of the ride it was, for the most part, a fun adventure thrill ride as our indoor simulation virtual roller coaster blasted through the park with Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie in a non-stop adventure. The ride animation is shown on a gigantic 80-foot diameter domed surface. The setting is like a Simpsons cartoon episode gone haywire! As we stood waiting in the queue moving along there were televisions that showed clips from classic Simpsons episodes and also humorous posters with satires. This was our last ride for the day. The wait was 75 minutes long. Getting closer to the ride we stood in groups up to 8 people per line then it led us into a staging room for more video instruction and finally shown into the actual ride, which is a colorful carnival-ride themed car decorated with another giant head of Krusty the Clown. The car holds four in front and four in back. The "cars" don't actually go anywhere; they just lift off the ground a little bit and dip, spin, swerve and jerk you through the crazy carnival scene. It's all about 3-D animation. I followed The Simpson's series for a little while on television so the features and humor made some sense. The ride is true to the series. The ride lasted for about 4-1/2 mins. I'm just lucky that the chicken tenders I ate at Gru's Lab Cafe didn't end up on the floor. The Simpsons Ride opened in 2008 and this was my first time ever riding it. I probably wouldn't come back to this ride again, there are better attractions out there worth standing in line for... thank you, next. Review #1323 read more

The Simpsons ride is located before Lot2 and between Harry Potter and the Studio Tour ride I came here with my daughter during Thanksgiving break. We have the platinum pass which includes the express pass. We decided to stop by the ride and use the express pass. The average wait time was 50+ minutes. There looked to be a section of the ride that was in maintenance which may be one of the reasons why the wait time was so long. You walked through a wait area and then are brought into a room. There were multiple screens with a variety of characters from the Simpsons show making some funny jokes. You wait there and then watch a screen to give you a back story to the ride. You are then brought into a small room which should have a max of 8 people, 4 in each row. You then watch another small clip for the back story for the ride. You are then brought to another section of the ride where you sit down and where your 3D glasses. This is by far one of the best 3D ride that Universal Studios has in their park. You are then lifted up into the 3D motion ride. It was a lot of fun!!! I was laughing during the ride. The nice part, you werent dropped into a store at the end lol :) if you are at Universal Studios, you need to ride this once! read more

How jostling is this ride? I am surprising my daughter in a couple days, but she had had back surgery and can't do major movement. Moderate is fine.…
It's a virtual simulation in a cart of 8 with four people per row. There is constant motion during the ride.
I know its a virtual ride, but does this actually physically drop? Thats the only thing that would trigger my motion sickness.
The car you ride in does physically move. It doesn't so much drop as it tilts.
